Ever Thought About Getting Married on Top of the World?
Close your eyes and picture this: you’re standing on the edge of the Sacred Valley, the golden sunlight bathing the ancient Incan ruins behind you. A soft Andean breeze plays with your veil as you whisper, “I do,” with the breathtaking peaks of Machu Picchu in the distance.
Sounds like something out of a movie, right? Well, guess what? It could be your reality.
Peru is the ultimate wedding + honeymoon destination for adventurous couples who want something beyond the ordinary. It’s where history meets romance, where the food is legendary, and where you can say your vows in one of the most breathtaking places on Earth.
So, let’s plan the Peruvian wedding and honeymoon of your dreams!
Step 1: Pick the Perfect Wedding Spot
Peru offers a mix of majestic mountains, stunning beaches, vibrant cities, and mystical ruins. Whether you dream of a luxurious estate, a jungle retreat, or a sacred elopement, Peru has it all.
Cusco & The Sacred Valley – Where History and Romance Meet
If you want your wedding to feel like a fairy tale with an Incan twist, Cusco and the Sacred Valley are perfect. Imagine exchanging vows in a charming colonial chapel or on a private estate with llamas as wedding guests (yes, that’s a thing).
💍 Best Venue:
Hacienda Sarapampa – A gorgeous, intimate venue in the Sacred Valley, combining rustic charm and luxury. Perfect for a destination wedding with an authentic Peruvian touch. Website
Machu Picchu – A Wedding Among the Clouds
Want an Indiana Jones-style wedding? (But, like, with way more romance and way less running from ancient traps?) A Machu Picchu elopement is for you. While you can’t officially marry inside the ruins, you can have a symbolic ceremony with jaw-dropping views nearby.
💍 Best Venue:
Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel – A luxurious eco-lodge in the middle of a lush cloud forest. Perfect for a romantic and intimate wedding. Website
Lima – Chic, Beachy, and Sophisticated
Want an oceanfront wedding with Lima’s iconic cliffs in the background? Picture yourself saying “I do” with the sound of waves crashing behind you, followed by a five-star seafood feast and a night of dancing under the stars.

Step 2: Plan the Ultimate Honeymoon
Now that the vows have been exchanged, it’s time to celebrate your love! Peru is the kind of honeymoon destination that lets you do it all—explore, relax, and indulge.
